"You think so, you don't involve your parent because you fear that they getting involved might put a risk on their jobs or you probably don't want to look like a bad person, your father who's a cop will do anything to nail Sarah, at best, the juvenile home for civil right violation or least, suspension, expulsion from stardom high even if her family are one of the founders "
" And you don't want that because you have a big heart that loves everyone no matter what they do to you " She added
At this moment, tears had filled her rare eyes already and was flowing down her cheeks freely.
" How do you know that?, I haven't told anyone before "
" Just like i said before, I feel drawn to you and still can't explain how, looking into your eyes and the way you act, I can easily guess what you're going through, it's strange, yeah I know"
"I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me, I really don't want father to get involved because he'll make sure she gets expelled"
"Listen Elena, you can't keep trying to protect someone who's trying to kill you"
"She's not trying to kill me"
"I know but if this continues, you're gonna be nothing but a puppet, everyone avoids you, Elena Gomez, yeah, you don't care but take a look at it from another perspective"
"Are you the only one who gets bullied by Sarah and her people?, there are other students, right?"
Elena rose her head slowly to her with a calm look.
"Not everyone has an enduring spirit like you, someone is gonna get depressed one day, guess what?, another is gonna commit suicide, so you see, this isn't about you"
"So I've been selfish"
"No you haven't, do you really want Sarah to keep treating everyone like a piece of crap, not you but those who don't even have influential parents to stand up to them"
"No, they don't deserve such a treatment, no one deserves it"
"Then we end it"
"We?"
"Yes, Sarah won't get expelled but she'll stop bullying"
"How?"
"Follow my lead, agree to always listen to me and we'll be friends"
"What... I..."
"It's a one time offer, Elena, do you accept me or i can take my leave, you won't hear from me ever again"
"Silvia I.."
"It's obvious you don't need my help, I'll leave then... "
She inhale heavily and moved towards the door.
" I accept you as my best friend, i haven't had one before and then you pop out of nowhere and seem to not only want to help but know so much about me that... "
Elena didn't get to complete her statement when Silvia hugged her gently.
"Hey, stop crying, I got you"

Maggie could be seen dancing out of the kitchen with a plate of pancakes when she heard a swift noise and turned to see the door pull open but there was no one.
"You wouldn't want a knife in your heart this time around" She announced and had her seat.
Olivia walked from behind the couch and sat beside her.
"Nine months had really changed a lot, I'm hated by the Nicholas Sisters, Maggie grows more evil and Silvia now has so much interest in a high school student"
"I'm only interested in your last statement, Elena Gomez, right?"
"Mmm hmm, sent me away but i lingered a little, she must have perceived my scent though"
"So what's the update?, my sister who hates men is into girls, we both know Silvia is not a lover"
"What if i say she's making Silvia weak?"
"You mean?"
"Then attend to my first statement"
"You're a scaredy wolf, Olivia, you always run from a fight, we don't associate with weak people"
"I'm an Omega, the weakest, the one who takes weeks to recover from injuries, you serious think I'll fight hunters who are equipped with Silver, stop trying to shift blames, you ran didn't you and your sister, Silvia, the rumors were everywhere" Olivia spoke into her face and Maggie in turn grabbed her throat angrily.
"Don't dare compare us, we're nothing alike"
"Yes, we're not but I lost my family too, they were one of the fighters who stood their ground" She said amidst tears in her eyes.
"I lost mine too"
"Yes, and I'm not crying for some sympathy, I know you long enough Maggie, you don't get moved by tears or compassion, you're just a cold-hearted creature in disguise, everyone sees Silvia as the she-devil but they never see the one who ignite the fire from behind, I'm not really here for you, I'm here to pay respect to my dead family "
" Hmm, I love that speech "
Maggie nodded and slide in a full sized pancake into her mouth.
" I never expected you to care "
" Good, you want some "
Olivia took some piece and returned to her seat.
" Out of the evil, you always get to show a bit of kind gesture, typical Maggie"
"Thanks for the compliment, now if you want to be part of us, I need you to monitor my sister and most especially the girl"
"That's a suicide mission, she's gonna notice my trailing scent and...."
"Rip out your throat with her alpha fangs, I love the sound of that, do you want to me part of this campaign?, do it"
"That's all for the factorization method and so we move to the formulae method" Mrs. Rose announced to the class while raising the red marker she held.
"Some considers this as the easiest as you have to do is input the right parameters into the formulae but you must note that it can only be used when the quadratic equation equals zero..." She turned to the board and began to write but paused and turned back to the seated students.
" By the way, where's Elena Gomez? "
The door pushed open almost immediately and Silvia stepped in with Elena behind her.
" Silvia Nicholas, you two are truly getting along"
She covered the marker and exhaled heavily.
"But I don't condone late coming to my class"
"Apologies Mrs. Rose, it's my fault" Silvia said quickly.
"Yep, um, just fall in and don't let same repeat itself"
They both smiled and found their way to their seats.
Sarah crossed her legs as she watched with a big frown.
"I'm nervous" Elena exhaled.
"Just follow my lead without hesitating, I'm thinking of something now"
"What?"
"I think I just came up with a plan"
Silvia let out a creepy smile leaving Elena confused on what she was up to.
"So before you two came in, we just finished with using the factorization method to solve quadratic equations and moving to the formula method, um, let's move them..."
"I don't quite get the factorization method" Silvia said aloud and Mrs. Rose paused after uncovering the marker.
"You resumed a little late Miss Nicholas, Well we can go over it again"
"Actually, it's the summer assignment part, I understand factorization, yeah, but that one got me like, I'm confused about the first question..."
Mrs. Rose turned to the board to wrote down an equation while Elena's heart beats in confusion, she was yet to figure out what her new found friend was cooking.
" Yeah, that's the question "
" Alright Miss Nicholas, listen carefully as I explain"
"Actually, Miss Rose, I would prefer a fellow mate to do that, I understand better that way"
"Silvia Nic..."
"Yeah, It's crazy but it works for me, just this once, I thought you guys care for new students, I deserve a good welcome, right?"
"I don't still understand you, come out clearly?"
"I heard Sarah did it well above every other person in the class, she must be really good"
At this point, Elena's heart was about to explode, she seem to be getting a glimpse of what was about to happen.
